My Tips:

Whenever is any leftover bread, I put it in zip lock bags and keep it in the refrigerator. It dries up after a day or two and is good to make breadcrumbs. Always use a dried bread to make breadcrumbs.

I have used regular white bread for making the breadcrumbs but you can use brown bread (whole wheat bread) or multigrain bread too for making it healthy.

Store the breadcrumbs in the freezer for longer shelf life. You can store it for about 2 months in the freezer.

Though it is told to discarded the sides (brown par) of the bread. It gives a nice white color to the breadcrumbs. But usually, I use the brown part too while making the breadcrumbs.

If you need fine breadcrumbs after making the breadcrumbs put them back to the mixer/grinder and grind it to a fine powder.
